List of Super Paper Mario pre-release and unused content: Difference between revisions

[[File:Bloop.png|thumb|250px|[[Princess Peach]], Tippi, and a cut "ladder" Pixl fighting [[Big Blooper (Super Paper Mario)|Big Blooper]].]]

An early version of the game had a different, darker-looking version of the [[Whoa Zone]] from Chapter 4, with Mario still wearing a helmet, when he wasn't in the final product. Also, an early screenshot shows Mario under the effects of the [[Mega Star]], but is colored very differently (giving his current colors rather than the initial ones seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''). Oddly, he is shown in his proper colors in the official trailer that was released at the same time, which may imply that the screenshot's release was simply delayed.

In a screenshot featuring [[Big Blooper (Super Paper Mario)|Big Blooper]], there is a Pixl that is shaped like a ladder. It never actually appears in the final game. This Pixl would have been used to flip Mario to 3D, as revealed by unused Pixl data within the game's files that contains identical scripting to Mario's flip ability in the final game. Also, in the same screenshot, Tippi is present, but she was kidnapped by [[Francis]] at this point in the game, and by the time she is rescued, Big Blooper cannot be fought again. Finally, the scene depicting [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]]'s wedding at the beginning of the game was also slightly different in pre-release versions; there were no flowers decorating the columns, the rising of the [[Chaos Heart]] was surprisingly light, and [[Count Bleck]] raised his cloak up earlier than he did in the final version. Plus, in the screenshot, Peach is standing instead of having been knocked over, and Bowser looks normal rather than shocked.

There are some unused items still stored in the game. Most of them are labeled as "Unavailable Item", and do not do anything.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnjaCMT7Usw Unused items</ref> Additionally, graphics exist for several items that do not appear in the game. Notably, the pink [[Cooking Disk]] is functional and referred to in-game as "Cooking Disk PI" ("Cooking Disk 1" in the PAL versions)<ref name="The Cutting Room Floor">[[tcrf:Super_Paper_Mario|The Cutting Room Floor]]</ref>, though it does not add any pages to the [[Dining Specializer]]. Most likely, the first recipe page was going to be obtained via a Cooking Disk instead of being built-in from the start. This also explains why the purple Cooking Disk is called "Cooking Disk PU" instead of simply "Cooking Disk P".

The game also contained unused data for Mario's partners from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'',<ref name="The Cutting Room Floor"></ref> except for [[Sushie]]. All of the partners including Sushie make cameos as [[Catch Card]]s in the final version.

There are some unused animations, including a side view of [[Mario]] climbing a ladder, and [[Dimentio]] walking. Using a [[List of Super Paper Mario glitches#Fleep_cancel.2A|glitch]], the player can activate Mario's normally unused ladder animation.<ref>SPM_Community. (October 31, 2021).

Just walk on an edge in 3D and use fleep, and you can get some cool results by holding up!

[[File:PMTTYD Gold Fuzzy Artwork.png|thumb|left|100px|Artwork of a [[Gold Fuzzy]].]]

Leftovers from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' are present, with slight revisions. This includes enemy variations such as [[Green Fuzzy]], [[Spinia]], [[Spunia]], [[Cleft]], and [[Hyper Cleft]]. Notably, this also includes the [[Gold Fuzzy]], which has reused artwork on the back cover of the official [[Nintendo Power]] guide and the [[Prima Games|Prima]] strategy guide. The Gold Fuzzy's filename was renamed from <tt>c_chorobon_k</tt> to <tt>e_chorobon_y</tt>, Spinia's filename was renamed from <tt>c_hannya_n</tt> to <tt>e_hannya_g</tt>, and Spunia's filename was renamed from <tt>c_hannya_t</tt> to <tt>e_hannya_p</tt>, suggesting that they were in the process of being retooled. Additionally, a [[Blooper Baby]] has graphics as a test enemy (<tt>TEST_s_gesso-</tt>), which appears incomplete as the texture features a solid black line at the bottom (possibly to test collision); the game's normal [[Blooper]] is also labeled as a test enemy in its texture file (<tt>TEST_gesso-</tt>), so they were both likely used to test underwater gameplay.
